What does a session look like? • At the start of each session, the BT will check in with the family and obtain an update on how your child is doing on that particular day (i.e., are there any new reports from school, or any new behavioral concerns), and work with the family to identify primary goals for the day’s session. • The BT will work on goals from the treatment plan in a fun and interactive way prioritizing your child’s engagement throughout session. • The BT will create learning opportunities for family participation throughout the session. Parent participation in session is crucial in helping your child generalize what they learn for life-long success. • The BT will collect data and take notes throughout session, which will assist the BCBA in making any needed changes to the treatment plan to better assist your child in learning new skills. • At the end the session, the BT will clean up session materials, complete a session note for insurance reporting and documentation purposes, and ask you to sign their timesheet. • The BT will speak with you briefly prior to leaving. They will summarize the highlights of the day’s session, any progress made towards goals and confirm the next scheduled session date and time. • Teaching new skills can best occur during everyday experiences and activities, such as playtime, mealtime and bath time. • You and your BCBA will collaborate to determine the most challenging parts of your child’s day and discuss areas for growth. • This information will be used to inform the development of goals and the most natural opportunities to target them. • This table is an example of a daily lesson plan, or session structure.
Where can sessions occur? Families may have a variety of options when deciding where they will receive ABA services. • Service settings may include home, school, childcare, clinic, or community locations. • Staff may provide services in the community if specified in the child’s treatment plan. • Butterfly Effects does not transport children in personal staff vehicles.
